Mr. Speaker, the riding of Sarnia—Lambton is a border community, so we have seen benefits from the North American Free Trade Agreement. About 40% of the trade in Canada is there. I guess we are also a port city. We are really looking forward to seeing the TPP and the agreement with the European countries signed. It seems to be taking a long time.
I am happy this bill is coming forward at this time, and I would like to see the pace picked up on the ratification.
With all of his years of experience in the House, could the member say what he thinks Canada should be doing to encourage a faster signing of all these deals?
